RECApTURED.
Sol Yates Follows up Kasson and
Finds Him at Cashiers
They Return to Town
Together.

kasson has been reeaptured. About sly
o'clock last evening he and Sol ! at
came into town and both sat down to din
ner as if they had just returned from {
hunting excursion. After dinner Kasson
talked freely abeut his flight He said
that he found the AeatIer very cold. and
was rather pleased that he was again ul-
der shelter. 81 went across the prairie
| he said 'sin the direction of Castner's !
met on the way u freighter with whom I
was acquainted. / told him my story and
| went with him to Castnel's. as he said
| that there was no risk in doing SO. Being
| rather hungry, sat down to dinner and
was at the table when Sol Yates put six
shooter at my ear and ordered me to sur
render" Kasson further said that he had
gone on the down grade here. He made
about $500 in two months, bnt it had all
gone and he was about $2o0in debt be-
sides. He says that his character was
good before he got into trouble, and that
when this affair is settled he means to re-
form and set to work right here. He
jokes with acquaintances about his trip,
saying that he was simply going to see a
friend. He was silent as to how he got
out of prison on Sunday night, and would
say nothing as TO who helped him.
Sol Yates has won great fame by his
prompt action in this pursuit. He assumed
at once that kasson would try to meet the
Billings coach which passes Cashiers at
noon. The wide awake Sol was convinced
that such was the case when he found
tracks leading in that direction. He traced
kasson by his tracks along the route, and
even found a place where he had stopped
to drink water, and had left the impress
of his hand IN the mud. kasson turned
on his tracks at times, and on seeing Mr..
Arnold driving, he feolishly imagined that
he was in pursuit Of him, and he hid in
couIee. Sol pushed ON to Cashiers which
is about 90 miles from here, so as to be
there before the coach arrived, and when
he cast his eye over the dining room, ne
at once espied the fugitive and made him
prisoner. After dinner last evening Kas-
son espied Al Hockett and said to him:
Next time give Sol black horse. This
tine I saw him, but mistook himself
and his horse for'p part of flock of Sheep
Kasson was kept under strict guard last
night, and won't have another chance to
escape before he goes TO Beuton.
Ii is suspected that an attempt was
made to release kasson before the locks
were broken on Sunday night. Sol Yates
observed that the lock had been tampered
with, aud he replaced il by the strong one
which was smashed or Sunday night.
k;tsson has waived examination on the
advice Of Mr.. Holeomb and goes to Ben

A Wonderful Change.

The veteran journalist, Judge Hedges,
writes as follows in the Helena Herald:
The reople of Great Falls are undouhted-
~ having great old time to-day in cele-
brating the arrival OF the Manitoba rail-
road in the immediate vicinity of their
city. While we write, We have no doubt,
track laying issgoing on in full sight of the
city, and that all the men, women and
children of the city and country around
are out enjoying the novel and exhilara-
ting sight. It is surely an occasion that
justifes celebrating en- masse. Such an
event occurs but once and its significance
cannot be we'll overestimated. We re-
member we'll our first visit to the mouth of
the Sun river in October, 1865. We we're
on our way to Benton, having tarried
two days at the old mission during a
heavy snow storm. As we approached
the mouth Of the Sun river there was the
largest herd of antelope We have ever
seen. Malcom Clarke. who was with US
at the time, estimated that there We're 500
in the band, and they were on the same
ground where to-day the railroad track is
being laid, and where hundreds of people
ara assembled to witness the grand specta-
Gle. At the time of our early visi. the
nearest civilized habitations were the Old
Mission, the government farm and little
cabin at the Twenty-eight Mile Springs
For many years later settlement had ad-
vaneed but little. Now here comes rail
road, with palace cars aud commerce, set
tlenaent and ali tie advantages Of mature
civilization. It is wonderful thing even
in this are and land Of wonders. Our
heart at least joins in this celebration. and
We try to think what the next twenty x-tWo
years will witness as aconseauence. We
can contemplate without regret that We
shall never more have fneseort the found
ering stage caaell through the alkaii mud
between Sun River and Benton.

| Great Falls is now the nearest railroad
city to a large arsa of country which In
cludes sur River, Fort Shaw and places
| fifty miles from here on the road to
Helena. The mails will soon be received
here from the east for distribution over a
| wide region which will in turn send its
| mails here to be dispatched. The stage
| routes will at once adapt themselves to
the new railroad center, and it is expected
that very soon the Benton stage ceach
will be taken OFF, as all the passenger
traffic will be over the railroad. Many
people who went to Helena to take the
trains foI the east or west will now come
here and increase the business of the ho-
tells and of the town generally. The arri-
walls are already very large. The list OF

scores of men are at work leveling the piles
of placer tailings TO admit the Montana

near Powers new warehouse space has
been leseled off for the depot and a new

a place is found for axes and shoyels. The

is confirmed by the Legislative council,
which will not meet for fifteen months.
